Houston’s Road Trip from Hell continues tonight as the Rockets head to the desert to take on the reigning Western Conference champion Phoenix Suns.
Phoenix is 3-3 on the young season, but undoubtedly have dreams of getting back to the Finals and avenging last season’s loss. Currently, Deandre Ayton and Cameron Payne are questionable with a lower leg contusion and hamstring strain, respectively. In the short term, Phoenix can cover up those absences with JaVale McGee and Frank Kaminsky at center, with Elfrid Payton taking the backup point guard minutes.
For the Rockets, this game is all about building momentum from the Lakers games.
